Age of Stone
In all the games Matt has played, Dungeons are places to raid, places you dream of conquering, but when the world is stripped of electricity, and the first mana-twisted beasts start to prowl, the games all come to an end...
Matt's just an ordinary guy, but when he’s beaten, robbed, and left for dead, bleeding out at the bottom of a gully, it all has to change as he grasps frantically at his only chance for survival, coming as it does in the form of a glowing, dangerously pulsing light.
With his reality forever altered, Matt must quickly find a suitable place to deploy the Dungeon Core, fighting his way through the hundreds of people between him and safety, because if he doesn’t do it soon, a Core Detonation will solve all of his problems for him… permanently.
Welcome to the New World.
Jez Cajiao
Jez Cajiao's journey to becoming a full-time author is as unexpected and adventurous as the stories he now tells. Born in 1980 in Hartlepool, UK, Jez’s early life didn’t follow the traditional path that one might expect for a writer. Instead, he found himself working in his family’s catering business from the age of 11, and later, trying his hand at a variety of other careers—from bar work in Greece to welding. It wasn’t until a series of health challenges forced a career shift that Jez discovered his true calling: writing.
Rise of Mankind
When the world as we knew it fractured, it didn’t shatter with a bang—but with a slow, creeping dread that never quite left. In Rise of Mankind, Jez Cajiao invites readers into a broken Earth where survival hinges not just on strength, but on strategy, nerve, and an evolving grasp of power in a reality governed by game-like mechanics.
Rise of Mankind consists of eight books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
